| Research Abstract |
As regards the results of my research during these three years, I may enumerate the following points. At first, I've enlarged the field of may research and surveyed the history of ideas of the german jewish thinkers as Herman Cohen, Leo Strauss, Martin Buber, Franz Rosenzweig etc..Secondly, in collaborating with the research on Spinoza promoted by Professor Osamu Ueno, I could come to the point of view from which one might restructure entirely this constellation. Thirdly, I could organize the international congress at Meiji University in november 2011, which commemorated the 50th anniversary of the publishing of Levinas' Totality and Infinity (1961) . And I'll publish recently the proceedings of this congress. Fourthly, I've attended many congresses on divers trends of jewish thougths and advanced ideas on the relation between sionism and diaspora. Fifthly, I've visited Auschwitz, Cracow, Praha, Warsaw, Budapest, Vilnus ans Kaunas, and inspected the jewish monuments there. Sixth, I've visited for the first time Jerusalem and read there a paper on Levinas' talmudic lecture. Seventhly, I invited a contemporary great jewish thinker called Daniel Sibony to Japan in march 2012. With his advices, I could comme to think that in order to pursue my research, it would be necessary to broaden my horizons to Islam.
